Hello Guys....

I will pick up my 1st shotgun next week and i am planning to do some metal plate and paper target shooting. What shell should i get for this kind of shooting and not too expensive too? Please let me know.....




Thank you very much....

100 packs of Federal birdshot at Walmart. $22ish
works great!

Depends on what distance and what choke is used. You can use birdshot for most anything but if you're planning on knocking down steel at distances 20 yards and beyond use a Light Modified or Modified choke.

It being your first shotgun, you may want to start with one of the "managed recoil" loads; they'll be easier on you. Have fun.

I fired a shotgun before so im not worried about the recoil....Tnx'

Birdshot is pretty minimal for recoil. But I'm a weenie and I use reduced recoil for my slugs and buckshot.

The full house 2 3/4" hunting loads 1 1/4 , 1 3/8 or 1 1/2oz .... 3 3/4 Dram Eq are not minimal

The 3"...... 4 Dram hunting loads are definitly not minimal


There is a lot more to "Birdshot" than the "Value Pack" .
